Excellent plane of focus and details Ray, nice job in this low light!

I like the curved perch with its peeling bark, and the deep contrasting greens of your BG too..

Great comp, perfect title devil

Hi Ray,

I like the texture of the facial disks and the fluffed out plumage. ..................Jim

Excellent detail, Ray, and I love that pose. No need for eye contact in this one.

I like the comp in this image Ray and the wet branch and luscious BG tells the story of the rain.
